The College of Liberal Arts invites you to join the first-of-its-kind Legacy Challenge for the college.

Here’s how a single gift can make a greater impact. If you document a future gift of $100,000 or more through your estate plan, the College of Liberal Arts will make an immediate donation (while funds last) to the department, program, project or area in the college that you choose! Your gift will make an impact today and a lasting one in the future.

The process is easy. Complete this simple form to initiate your planned gift. Or you can download and complete an Estate Intention Letter and email it to our experienced planned giving advisors Tony Weber or Michelle Debelak to get started. With no burden on your pocketbook today, you can provide support to the people and programs within the College of Liberal Arts that mean the most to you.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

Plan II Honors graduate Austin Ligon established an endowed excellence fund through his estate to meet the future needs of Plan II. “Austin’s legacy gift will allow us to continue to expand students’ boundaries beyond the familiar. We are enormously grateful to him for his long-term commitment,” said Alexandra Wettlaufer, Plan II director, College of Liberal Arts.
